This thing is way too big to review, includes huge swaths of commented-out code, breaks coding conventions and portability, and introduces strange new APIs (like VecTransplantPlaceArray) that haven't really been explained and seem to produce questionable semantics.<br>

Can we please institute some sort of policy on patch quality/reviewability? This one patch is going to take a significant amount of fix-up (not made easier by the several merges since) and/or generate several build failures and user inconvenience (petsc-maints). No doubt the functionality is important, but we just don't have time to fix these things line-by-line after they are pushed.<br>
